I'm using Blender 2.8. I split my viewport but accidentally moved the 3D manipulator to the right side- I don't know how I moved it nor how to move it back to the left side. The ride side is in rendered view. When I try to use the measure tool, manipulator and other tools on the left side, I get an alert that says 'gizmo hidden in this view'.

$\begingroup$ @SlobodanVidovic There is no need to delete that folder, it wouldn't fix the described problem anyway. $\endgroup$– Robert GützkowCommented Dec 12, 2019 at 21:52

It appears that you've hidden the gizmos in the left viewport, which is why the Move gizmo is invisible and the Measure tool gives you an error message. Enable them by clicking the Show Gizmos icon shown below.
Ensure that the following options are enabled in Viewport Gizmos.
The exact error message is "Gizmos hidden in this view" which is printed by view3d_ruler_add_invoke()
(view3d_gizmo_ruler.c
) when the Measure tool is used and v3d->gizmo_flag
has the V3D_GIZMO_HIDE
or V3D_GIZMO_HIDE_TOOL
flags set. V3D_GIZMO_HIDE
is set when Show Gizmos is disabled and V3D_GIZMO_HIDE_TOOL
when Active Tools in the Viewport Gizmos options is deactivated.
